Traffic Zipper is one of my Top 5 Programs because it solves a simple problem: managing safelist marketing can take a lot of time.
If you are a member of several safelists, you normally have to keep track of when you can send your next email, log into each site, compose or select your promotion, and use your available credits.
Traffic Zipper can automate much of that process for you.
I started using Traffic Zipper in early 2023, and it made a significant difference to my own list-building results. Instead of manually keeping track of all my safelist mailings, I could connect my accounts to Traffic Zipper, set up my emails and let the system handle the mailings whenever the individual safelists allowed them.
That is why Traffic Zipper has remained one of my Top 5 Programs.
What Does Traffic Zipper Do?
Traffic Zipper connects with a selection of safelists and viral mailers and allows you to manage your campaigns from one place.
You choose the mailers you want to use, connect your accounts, create the emails you want to send and then switch on Autopilot.
Traffic Zipper will then check the mailers and send your campaign whenever the conditions allow it. This depends on things such as whether you have enough credits and whether you are currently allowed to send a mailing through that particular service.
If you have several emails in your campaign, Traffic Zipper can rotate them rather than requiring you to manually select an email for every mailing.
The result is quite simple: you can spend less time managing your safelist accounts while still taking advantage of the traffic they can generate.
How Traffic Zipper Helped My List Building
Before I started using Traffic Zipper, I was already using safelists to promote my lead capture pages.
The problem was not necessarily finding safelists. The problem was keeping up with all the individual mailing opportunities.
In a video I made after I started using Traffic Zipper, I compared my earlier results with what happened after I put my safelist marketing on autopilot.
The difference in my daily opt-ins was dramatic.
That experience is one of the main reasons I continue to recommend Traffic Zipper. It doesn’t magically make a safelist more effective. Instead, it makes it much easier to take advantage of the opportunities that are already available.
And that matters because consistency is important with this type of marketing.
If you have ten safelists that allow you to send an email today but you only get around to using three of them, you have missed seven opportunities.
Traffic Zipper can take care of that part for you.
Watch My Traffic Zipper Video
Here is the video where I explain how Traffic Zipper changed my own safelist marketing and show how I set up the system.
The video is from when I first started using Traffic Zipper, but the basic principle remains the same: connect your safelists, create your campaigns and let the system handle the mailings whenever possible.
How Traffic Zipper Works
Setting up Traffic Zipper is fairly straightforward.
There are four main steps.
Step 1: Define Your List Builders
After you log in, hover your cursor over My List Builders in the top menu and click on Define My Listbuilders.
This takes you to a page showing the list builders that can be used with Traffic Zipper.
Tick the boxes for the ones you want to connect to your Traffic Zipper account.
You don’t necessarily need to connect every available service immediately. You can start with the safelists you already use and add others later.
Step 2: Manage Your List Builder Details
Next, hover over My List Builders again and click on Manage My Listbuilders Details.
You will now see the list builders you selected in the previous step.
Enter the information needed to connect each account to Traffic Zipper and save the details.
Once this is done, Traffic Zipper can communicate with the connected safelist accounts and manage your mailings.
Step 3: Compose Your Email
Now go to Send Email and select Compose Email.
If you have used a safelist before, this should look familiar.
Enter the subject of your email, the URL you want to promote and your message.
I recommend using Traffic Zipper primarily to promote your own lead capture pages rather than sending people directly to an affiliate offer.
That way, the traffic you generate can help build your own email list. Once people are on your list, you can continue to communicate with them and introduce them to your offers through your own follow-up campaigns.
When your email is ready, use the Preview option to check it and then save or send it as required.
You can create more than one email if you want Traffic Zipper to rotate different messages through your campaigns.
Step 4: Set Up Autopilot
This is where Traffic Zipper becomes particularly useful.
Go to Send Email and click on Autopilot Setup.
You will see the emails you have created. Click the Edit icon beside the email you want to use for your automated campaigns.
A list of your selected mailers will appear.
Choose the mailers you want to use. I generally select all the ones that I have connected.
You can also select the Use credits? option so that your available credits can be used for the mailing.
Finally, click Turn On Autopilot.
That’s the main setup completed.
Traffic Zipper Does the Repetitive Work
Once Autopilot is running, Traffic Zipper checks the connected mailers and sends your selected email whenever it is possible to do so.
You don’t have to remember which safelist is ready to mail.
You don’t have to keep checking several different websites throughout the day.
And you don’t have to be sitting at your computer when a mailing opportunity becomes available.
You can still log into your individual safelists and earn additional credits if you want to increase your exposure. But Traffic Zipper means your campaigns can continue running even when you don’t have time to do that manually.
That is probably the biggest reason I like it.
I have other things to do, and I don’t want my list-building activity to depend entirely on whether I remembered to log into a particular safelist at the right time.
Getting Better Results
Traffic Zipper automates the mailing process, but it doesn’t remove the need to use the safelists properly.
If you are serious about using safelist marketing, it can make sense to become a paid member of some of the services you use most often. Paid memberships can give you additional credits, higher mailing limits or other benefits depending on the individual service.
You can also earn additional credits by visiting the safelists and completing whatever activities they offer.
I don’t try to do all of this manually every day. That’s one of the reasons I use Traffic Zipper in the first place.
My approach is to connect the safelists that I want to use, make sure my campaigns are ready, and let Traffic Zipper take care of the routine mailing.
You can then spend your time on other parts of your business while the automated campaigns continue to run.
Which Safelists Can You Use?
Traffic Zipper supports a range of safelists and viral mailers.
The exact selection can change over time, so rather than maintaining a long list here, I’ve created a separate page where I can keep that information updated.
You can see the current list here:

That page also explains the different Traffic Zipper membership levels and the number of services you can connect at each level.
Why Traffic Zipper Is One of My Top 5
I don’t include a program in my Top 5 simply because it has a long list of features.
For me, a useful program needs to do something that genuinely helps me run my online business.
Traffic Zipper does that by removing a repetitive task from my marketing routine.
Safelist marketing can work, but managing several safelists manually can become a chore. Traffic Zipper puts the repetitive part of that process on autopilot.
I can create a campaign, connect the safelists I want to use and then let the system look after the routine mailings.
That gives me more time to work on content, build my lists and deal with other parts of my business.
And based on my own experience, it has also produced enough results to justify keeping it in my Top 5.
Get Started With Traffic Zipper
You can start with a free Traffic Zipper account and see how the system works for yourself.
If you already use safelists, this is probably the easiest way to see whether the automation can save you time.
If you are new to safelist marketing, you can start small, learn how the system works and add more mailers as you become comfortable with it.
Once you have your accounts connected and your first campaign running, Traffic Zipper can continue looking for opportunities to send your emails without requiring you to manage every mailing manually.
That’s why I continue to use it and why Traffic Zipper remains one of my Top 5 Programs.
